Ossian State Forest is located two miles northeasterly of the hamlet of Swain, in the town of Ossian, Livingston County.

Recreational opportunities on this forest focus on rustic experiences with a limited amount of development. There are no formally designated trails. There is a developed camping area at Evergreen Pond, along Scoville Road. Tables and fire rings are provided. This is a carry in-carry out facility.

Some of this forest will require significant walking to access. There is also a significant mileage of state forest administrative access roads which are open to public access during good weather.
